How can I implement SQL INTERSECT and MINUS operations in MS Access

Question

I have researched and haven\'t found a way to run INTERSECT and MINUS operations in MS Access. Does any way exist

Answer 1

INTERSECT is an inner join. MINUS is an outer join, where you choose only the records that don't exist in the other table.

---

INTERSECT

select distinct
  a.*
from
  a
  inner join b on a.id = b.id

---

MINUS

select distinct
  a.*
from
  a
  left outer join b on a.id = b.id
where
  b.id is null

If you edit your original question and post some sample data then an example can be given.

EDIT: Forgot to add in the distinct to the queries.
